Those coloring books give me a headache.

Interesting. Is picking out clothes stressful because of some perfectionism or because you know you really are bad at finding matching pairs or something suited to the occasion (if that changes sometimes, like presentations or special meetings)?
I think science is the thing creativity matters as much for as, say, composing music.
It's gauging truth just using (emotional) affect. Intuition.
I know this can be greatly impaired by anxiety: I am at my best creatively when I have little anxiety, but just enough to get some "rational feedback". So either mania or depression alone doesn't work, any delusional fear or self-supporting anxiety doesn't either. It is rare. True creativity only blossoms infrequently, I think and have experienced. Like creative writers having writer's block maybe the most part of their lives.
